Challenges in Acquiring English

^^ENGLISH LOVER^^

Its been a while since I started to create an entry. So, this is my second entry and I'm sure it will be a quite boring because I'll be writing about something related to English Language. Lets move on to 'interesting' part which is '10 Challenges that we face in acquiring English'.

1. Grammar
Majority of them have a big problems with grammar. So do I. Actually, you can't imagine how I hate grammar. LOL. But it is a negative vibes right? By hook or by crook I'll try to 'love' grammar. English grammar is complex, making it difficult to remember, master and use logically. Sometimes, it can be tricky.

2. Lack of vocabulary
English is one of the biggest vocabularies of all languages, so it can be very confusing for us to master it. We are not too interested in exploring vocab. So thats the reason why we are facing such difficulties to become an expert in English.

3. Having obstacles with slang
Actually students are rarely exposed to the slang words used by English speaker. So do I. But we can just speak as what we used to. Why bother? Slang is not a big deal but try to bear with it. Try to overcome the difficulties and yes you are in the right path dude!

4. Pronounciation
Sometimes it is difficult to pronounce certain words properly. Maybe it takes time for us to fluently use it. Keep practicing for a great improvement. Keep pronounce correctly and clearly because it will guide us to a better version English person maybe.... Lol

5. Variations in English
Sometimes we are having difficulties to understand. For example, difference between using formal and informal language also between spoken and writing language. It's confusing. Why not we just make it simple guys. I know you can do it. So fighting!

6. Rarely used English in daily life
This is the most obvious challenges in acquiring English. We are not prefer to speak English because we keep thinking that it will be less understandable. From rarely let's change to often or always. Come on guys!!!

7. Low self-esteem

 How we deal with this? It is something that we can bear with but it needs strength and determination. How  could we. Lol. Whatever it is do have confidence in yourself because its really help you not just now but also in our future soon.

8. How to arrange sentences/words correctly
Sometimes we are just too shame to speak in English. We thought that when we speak people will not understand what we're trying to express. Thats the problem that I face though. I'm sick of it but it just fine if we just go with the flow. Try. Try. And keep trying. Most importantly, make sure you know what you're trying to say.

9. Attitude
A bad attitude is like a flat tires. If you don't change it, you'll never go anywhere. Just like us, laziness and human are meant to be together. So, bear with it. No one can change you accept you yourself. Yes.

10. Having problem in exploring 'Dictionary'
Absolutely. Dictionary is one of the significant sources that can help you strive excellently in English but if you are out of this you are actually in a dangerous state. Beware of it!!! Sound serious right? But it just the truth that is undeniable. Try to make dictionary as one of your 'bestfriend' and I guarantee that English is just at your fingertips.


I think that all I can write for this time. I'm just lack of idea of what I'm creating throughout this entry. ^^

Alright guys, good luck in learning one of the most difficult languages in the world today......remember practice is the main key, "wink".

Next is don't be afraid to make mistake. To err is human. Do have confident in ourselves.

8. Learn from everyone
    Remember!!! 

9. Learn to think in English
Okay. Lets begin. First, beginning to think with individual English words. Then, progressing to thinking in English sentences. Finally imagining entire conversations and stories in your head in English.


10. Don't think too much about grammar
Over-thinking ruins you. Ruins the situation, twists things around, makes you worry and just make everything much worse than it actually is. Focusing too much on grammar will only slow you and confuse you. Just sit back and relax. Try to speak calmly and everything will workout as what you wish. All the best.

Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.

^^THE NEW ME^^

What a catchy title right. But its not that 'catchy' and wonderful as my life for semester 1 had just finished but I'm curious as to what would my result be like. I feel like I'm scared to the death. Grrrrrrrrr......... Do trust in yourself. Stay focus. Most importantly,  I have to keep calm and have faith in Allah that everything will be fine. If Gods' will. 

Hmmmm......

Me myself is always struggling to be a better person just like the others right but the new me that I want to express here is just the new Aliya with a new spirit, new determination and together with my tagline Aliya, keep fighting!!!

Alright no wonder  I'm not that expert in express my feelings through writing but i will try harder to make it not to krik.krik. Lol.

I guess uolls my faithful 'readers' must be wonder right what is going on in my life that encourage me to improve myself to the new me now. My transformation is not too big deal but everyday in my life I kept thinking how to live a truly, real life not just a life full of imagination like Spongebob. The way spongebob live was a life full of happiness and absolutely not for us as a normal human beings. Thats the point here maybe I had grew up to become more matured. 

Perhapssss........

I kept thinking about my future and i guess it was something that must be really really important right. Besides, one thing that I always take note to myself is to err is human. Nobody's perfect. Everbody has their own flaws. Remember that. So, let bygones be bygones. What you need to do is just keep improve yourself to be a better person day by day ^ ^

Yezzzaaaa.... 
I really need to wake up. 'Wake me up when september ends' yaaaa not really like what Greenday said in their song but yes I have to wake up and realize that i do really have something significant to do in my life. 

I have to be a new person with a gorgeous personality as well as to make my family proud of me. "Of course I will".  I will not let them down. A new person with something rare and fresh.

              Something. The new me. Yes!!!  Live your life aliya. Make it true. Keep fighting!!!
